Bill McKibben published a must-read op-ed in The Washington Post last month about the connection between climate change and recent extreme weather events. Now Stephen Thomson has combined McKibben’s words with striking footage of the events he writes about. The result is a chilling must-see video:

Whatever you want to believe, whether it’s climate change and global warming and whether or not its man-induced or not, nobody can deny that our planet is changing rapidly and that extreme weather events are increasing. We should be trying to lesson our environmental footprint and any ecologically damaging actions which may or may not be a cause of climate change and/or global warming.

Water Rhapsody Water Conservation Systems has incorporated Yes Solar Mpumalanga so that we can offer solar water heating systems to further reduce your environmental impact (water and energy are linked). Yes Solar is a distributor for high quality solar energy systems that are competitively priced. Our solar geysers are SABS- and Eskom-approved and are fitted by qualified, Eskom-accredited solar installers. Now is the time to install a solar geyser while the Eskom rebates last (this money will run out eventually) and before the looming energy crisis arrives. Solar water geysers can reduce household electricity costs by up to 50%.
